Interface CookbookAdminSession

All Superinterfaces:

All Known Subinterfaces:

public interface CookbookAdminSession
extends OsidSession

This session creates, updates, and deletes Cookbooks. The data for create and update is provided by the consumer via the form object. OsidForms are requested for each create or update and may not be reused.

Create and update operations differ in their usage. To create a Cookbook, a CookbookForm is requested using getCookbookFormForCreate() specifying the desired record Types or none if no record Types are needed. The returned CookbookForm will indicate that it is to be used with a create operation and can be used to examine metdata or validate data prior to creation. Once the CookbookForm is submiited to a create operation, it cannot be reused with another create operation unless the first operation was unsuccessful. Each CookbookForm corresponds to an attempted transaction.

For updates, CookbookForms are requested to the Cookbook Id that is to be updated using getCookbookFormForUpdate(). Similarly, the CookbookForm has metadata about the data that can be updated and it can perform validation before submitting the update. The CookbookForm can only be used once for a successful update and cannot be reused.

The delete operations delete Cookbooks.

This session includes an Id aliasing mechanism to assign an external Id to an internally assigned Id.

Method Detail

canCreateCookbooks

boolean canCreateCookbooks()

Tests if this user can create Cookbooks. A return of true does not guarantee successful authorization. A return of false indicates that it is known creating an Cookbook will result in a PERMISSION_DENIED. This is intended as a hint to an application that may not wish to offer create operations to unauthorized users.

Returns:

false if Cookbook creation is not authorized, true otherwise

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

canCreateCookbookWithRecordTypes

boolean canCreateCookbookWithRecordTypes(Type[] cookbookRecordTypes)

Tests if this user can create a single Cookbook using the desired record types. While RecipeManager.getCookbookRecordTypes() can be used to examine which records are supported, this method tests which record(s) are required for creating a specific Cookbook. Providing an empty array tests if an Cookbook can be created with no records.

Parameters:

cookbookRecordTypes - array of cook book types

Returns:

true if Cookbook creation using the specified record Types is supported, false otherwise

Throws:

NullArgumentException - cookbookRecordTypes is null

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

getCookbookFormForCreate

CookbookForm getCookbookFormForCreate(Type[] cookbookRecordTypes)

the cook book form

Throws:

NullArgumentException - cookbookRecordTypes is null

OperationFailedException - unable to complete request

PermissionDeniedException - authorization failure

UnsupportedException - unable to get form for requested record types

OperationFailedException - unable to complete request

PermissionDeniedException - authorization failure

UnsupportedException - cookbookForm did not originate from getCookbookFormForCreate()

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

canUpdateCookbooks

boolean canUpdateCookbooks()

Tests if this user can update Cookbooks. A return of true does not guarantee successful authorization. A return of false indicates that it is known updating an Cookbook will result in a PERMISSION_DENIED. This is intended as a hint to an application that may not wish to offer update operations to unauthorized users.

Returns:

false if Cookbook modification is not authorized, true otherwise

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

getCookbookFormForUpdate

CookbookForm getCookbookFormForUpdate(Id cookbookId)
                                      throws NotFoundException,
